Limitations: Cuban medical education is delivered by 16 provincial universities of medical sciences (MINSAP directory) plus ELAM; most university websites on the Infomed network were unreachable on 2026-10-13, so only ELAM and the University of Medical Sciences of Villa Clara are recorded; the other 15 are unresolved. Faculties within each university (e.g. the several faculties of the University of Medical Sciences of Havana) were not enumerated. The Ministry of Higher Education site did not respond. Web search was unavailable.
